Forces notes
Force your way into a high grade with these notes. Accelerate your learning and reach terminal velocity

Scalar and vector

Because I am committing crimes with magnitude and direction
Read me

Contact forces

Contact and non-contact forces and how they work
Read me

Gravity

Classic physics. The difference between weight and mass.
Read me

Resultant forces

Combine multiple forces into one overall force
Read me

Work done

You need to do some work to understand how work is calculated.
Read me

Forces and elasticity

Time for bed said Zebedee
Read me

Stretching a spring

required practical
Have you reached your limit yet? Stretch your understanding with this practical.
Read me

Moments

(physics only)
Wait a moment! what's going on here?
Read me

Levers and gears

(physics only)
Gear yourself up to succeed. Lever your knowledge to get a great grade
Read me

Pressure in fluids

(physics only)
This is the basis of hydraulic pressure and why how JCBs work.
Read me

Floating and sinking

(physics only)
If you have a sinking feeling about forces thrust your knowledge up with these notes
Read me

Speed and velocity

More scalar and vector shenanigans with speed and velocity
Read me

Distance time graphs

Graph drawing methods to calculate speed
Read me

Acceleration - 1

Accelerate your understanding of motion so you do not end up going around in circles.
Read me

Acceleration - 2

Once more into the breach my dear friends with acceleration again.
Read me

Newtons First Law

Newtons First law is about balanced forces. Do not let inertia stop you from learning
Read me

Newtons Second Law

The second law is classic physics. F = ma, You do not get more classic than that.
Read me

Newtons Third Law

Revise and get a good mark. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction!
Read me

Terminal velocity

(physics only)
People jumping out of planes. How fast do they go?
Read me

Acceleration

required practical
applying Newtons second law on a practical level (actually on a slope!)
Read me

Forces and braking

Forget your GCSE! you need to learn this stuff for your driving licence
Read me

Momentum

Make sure you keep up your momentum with your learning
Read me

Momentum calculations

(physics only)
Explosive calculations about the conservation of momentum
Read me

Change in momentum

(physics only)
Crash test dummies are the inspiration behind the name of this website. Strange but true.
